The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.

On another trip we went to nearby Watford (not the famous one near London). First we found the Congregational Church, interesting enough (Grade II) but then Plas Watford (also Grade II) still lived in. A very kind lady and her husband asked us in to the parlour, wher we are aware the first meeting of the Calvinistic Methodists in Wales took place. She told us that Hwitefield alos had his wedding reception there after marrying Welsh widow, Elizabeth James, in 1741. This clip from YouTube is interesting.
